Finding myself: My Writing struggle
It feels like it has been ages I stopped by here on the blockchain. When the year started, I told myself that I would try and put out something here every single day. I tried so hard but then again, sometimes it may look like we have everything all figured out and then boom, life happens to us.
I have been struggling for the past couple of days to do so many things. From working to meeting up with lectures, to taking care of the home and everyone. It has not exactly been easy for me. I have tried to just see if I can write something but I realized that the few times I tried to write, I didn't even find anything to write about. No matter how I tried to think of what to write, I end up going blank.
I am not someone who just writes anything. I love to really think through and see how to relate it with my personal experience. That way, i write very well and it flows without me even blinking. But recently, it has been so difficult for me to write. I remember one of the weekends I told myself that I would write so many articles and then keep them to be posting each everyday, but it didn't work out.
Sometimes when I get home and hit the bed, it is till the next morning that I will get myself. And then I get ready again for work, and school the next day. It has been going that way for a while now. It makes me want to ask, people who keep up with writing everyday, how do they do it? I know someone who is in my shoes but shows up every time.
I am just curious to know how you all who show up do it. Is there trick to doing it. I really will love to know because just like the holy book says,
the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

My body and soul wants to be here badly but I can't help it.
I hope I find the vibe and the motivation I need to come back again. I have missed so much already because everyday I visit this block chain, I learn so many new things. I hope I find myself pretty soon.
Thank you for reading
Hello @joydukeson
You are not alone, we all experience writer’s block once in a while, I experienced mine last week and I threw the question on Leo thread and I was advised to consume more things that I wish to write about, that is read more posts that picks your interest and you would want to write something around that theme. Better still go through Communities and look out for prompts that resonates you.
I hope one of these helps
Beautiful.... This is an excellent idea. Thank you
You are welcome
A big element of writing for me is to set aside time for it and also have a couple themes for posts that I do every week. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are theme posts that are consistent every week and that helps a lot! It gives me a chance to get those scheduled and then work on the other ones which are not a recurring theme. I’ve been slacking a little bit lately but haven’t missed a day yet thankfully! Lol
That's a good way to plan things out. I love it... I will try to write ahead. Maybe it will help me too.
Thanks for sharing your method
